I don't have much experience running a rails production app, but I've been migrating my static site to mephisto over the past few days. Mephisto requires Edge Rails and comes with a rake task for deploying Edge[1]. Rather than using freeze edge, it will checkout a specified Edge revision to a shared directory, and link it to app/vendor/rails. This works really well with capistrano, and ensures that a given revision of your app is always tested and run with the same Edge revision on different machines.
